Saab Unveils All-New Giraffe AMB-D Air Defense Radar at Eurosatory 2026

Saab launched the all-new Giraffe AMB D ground-based air defense radar at the Eurosatory 2026 in Paris on June 17.

The Giraffe AMB D combines a new radar array design with a modern software architecture to deliver enhanced performance and greater operational flexibility.

Designed to counter a wide range of threats, the system provides superior situational awareness through extended detection capability and advanced target tracking. Its software-defined architecture enables continuous upgrades, ensuring the radar can evolve to meet future operational requirements.

"Giraffe AMB D demonstrates how technological innovation can enhance sensor capability while making the system more compact and deployable, with a reduced footprint.

The result is a highly modular, mobile multi-domain radar that provides operational flexibility from the tactical edge to strategic missions," says Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.

Building on more than 70 years of radar innovation and over two decades of operational success with Giraffe AMB, the new Giraffe AMB D leverages Active Electronically Scanned Array radar hardware with a new software architecture and modern processing capabilities to provide enhanced air surveillance performance.

The system is designed to detect and track a broad spectrum of airborne threats while maintaining the adaptability required to address tomorrow's challenges.
